In order to breed new camellia cultivars with upright plant form and early flowering property, interspecific hybridizations among 4 kinds of Camellia species belonged to section Theopsis were conducted. Five hundred and sixty-two flowers were crossed in 1990. Eleven interspecific hybrid seedlings were planted to open field in1993 and their characteristics were investigated for the following selection. Two seedlings derived from the cross between C. rosaeflora Hooker and C. fraterna Hance were finally selected in 1998 and were registered as Camellia Norin No.2, 'Ayamatsuri' and Camellia Norin No.3, 'Yukimatsuri' in 2002.

The flower color of 'Ayamatsuri' is pink (JHS color chart No.9504) and that of 'Yukimatsuri' is white (JHS color chart No.2201). Flower diameter and the number of petals of both cultivars are approximately 3 cm and 5 or 6 respectively. The natural flowering time of (Ayamatsuri' and 'Yukimatsuri' are between the beginning or middle of February and the middle of April in Mie prefecture. These two cultivars could be used as a set.
